Michigan Personal Injury Law

In Michigan, the law says the plaintiff must show that the other party's conduct directly caused their injury, in order to recover. You must also show, with a few exceptions, that the defendant was somehow at fault for your injuries, usually by acting with either intent or negligence.

If you have any questions about personal injury in Michigan, you should contact an experienced Michigan personal injury attorney now.

Michigan has a population of over 9 million people and is the 8th most populated state in the U.S. The name "Michigan" means "large lake". In the year 1837, Michigan became the 26th state to officially join the Union. The Michigan State Capitol is located in the city of Lansing in Ingham County.

Michigan's court system is comprised of three levels, each serving a different purpose. At the lowest level are the District Courts, Municipal Courts, and Probate Courts. Appeals and higher matters are heard at the intermediate level through the Circuit Court system. Michigan also operates a Court of Claims at the intermediate level, which hears administrative agency appeals involving claims against the state. Michigan's highest court is the Michigan Supreme Court.

Aside from hearing advanced legal claims, the Supreme Court also operates the Michigan Supreme Court Historical Society, dedicated to the preservation of Michigan's rich legal history. A famous Michigan court case is Workman v. Detroit Board of Education (1869), one of the first cases dealing with segregation in education. Another famous Michigan case is the Dr. Kevorkian trial involving assisted death and euthanasia. In 1846, Michigan was the first U.S. state to abolish the death penalty.

Lawyers in Michigan file most of their claims at the District or Municipal Court level. Michigan lawyers are experienced in a broad range of legal topics, allowing them to address the unique legal needs of the community. Michigan continues to promote its rich tradition of legal excellence and service.

06/04/2016My experience with Richard S. was excellent! Unlike prior attorneys I've hired, Richard always returned my phone calls and emails in a timely manner and kept me abreast of my case status monthly.
My case involved Richard taking on (2) separate companies and their lawyers simultaneously, but he never wavered in his defense of my case and did an excellent job defending my rights.
Overall, I am very pleased with the level of courtesy and legal defense received from Richard. He was a (Class Act) throughout my entire legal process and got me the best and highest settlement possible.
I have already recommended Richard to several of my friends, and highly recommend him to anyone seeking an exceptional Lawyer with exceptional legal skills and knowledge!

02/06/2012Our experience with Mr. S. was exceptional from the beginning. During our initial meeting Richard was very focused in getting a clear and concise understanding of what our issues involved. He was extremely knowledgeable about not only the law but the intricacies of procedures involved in pursuing our case, giving us confidence that we had made the correct choice in choosing him to represent us. He patiently explained the legal nuances of our case giving us a clear but realistic picture of what to expect, relieving some anxiety we felt about pursuing legal action. Richard was always kind and concerned not in just the aspect of our case but how our family as a whole was fairing throughout the process. He consistently kept us updated, making us feel that we were a priority.

08/17/2010Mr. S. was the quintessential professional throughout the 3+ years duration of this case. Mr. S. has an acute attention to detail. He waded through thousands of documents related to this case, and meticulously read through each, categorized all and maintained a 100% recollection of all these millions of details throughout the trial. He maintained integrity throughout this entire process, and painted me a very realistic picture of the process, the proceedings and what to expect from a legal perspective.
He never wavered in his enthusiasm for this case. Mr. S. not only represented me in this legal proceeding, he honestly cared about me and my well-being. I enthusiastically recommend Mr. S. to anyone. His expertise, integrity and determination will serve you well.

11/23/2008 When I was terminated from my job of 10 years for violating the fmla act, I was devastated and confused. Being a somewhat passive personality, my employer was sure
I would just slink away, and I almost did. I have been very fortunate to have found this
web site, and had the opportunity to hire the law firm of Richard S.. That was in
July 2007. I am happy to say that the matter has been settled in my favor, november 2008. Richard and his associate Rachel Jung treated me with respect and understanding
and kept me informed every step of the way, and explained anything I did not understand
patiently and completely. My experience was positive and I wouldn't hesitate to hire this
firm again in a second. Richard, Rachel you two are the best. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Laura H

Mr S. was quick to respond, understood my needs, met with the other Doctor and the whole issue was settled in just 2-3 days which involved Mr. S. writing up a new contract and settle to problem. His fees were not my concern but fair nonetheless. I would highly recommend him for anyone's legal matters. Highly efficient, and knowledgeable.
Thank you again Mr. S..

01/12/2006As I have stated to Attorney S. I only wish I had you in the begining. We have yet to go thru the legal process of my case but it is the first time I have felt that an attorney really cared about both me and my case as well as the outcome.
My only concern at this time is the LA fires and all is well for Attorney S. and his family.
On another note I would like to that LegalMatch for their services. The only problem I see is getting their word out to the public. Many years of both radio and Television background I would strongly urge Legalmatch to send announcements out to all media both air and printed as a public service announcement which can be done as a free service to the public.
Also I could not find the area to submit for the $1,000.00 situation on Legal Match. Could you do so for me? Thank you for all your help. It is most appreciated. M. Corday

10/09/2006In our initial search for attorneys to handle our wrongful termination case, Mr. S. was the only one who fully understood the unique circumstances of our situation. He immediately knew that we had a valid case and set about filing a claim for us. He had knowledge of labor law that other attorneys and even a judge that we encountered were simply oblivious too. Mr. S. worked dilligently to reach a satisfactory settlement for us. Our former employer had treated us in the most unfair manner. Mr. S. has our gratitude for righting a wrong.
